Gershwin and Cole Porter are great.

Sinatra and Tony Bennett have magical voices, IMO. True crooners.

Dear sinkspur,

Yes, Sinatra was a great singer. He was my mother's favorite. She'd go see him sing when he was a scrawny young guy starting to sing in NYC-area clubs. She was, I think, a "bobby-soxer." That's what she used to say.

She used to tell me that when he first started, he was so scrawny, they used to laugh at him.

Later, they swooned.

But I much prefer instrumental music. Of course, the "Ode to Joy" is a major exception, as well.
